Hong er POV

Father also promised me that he will teach me horse riding after I mastered hand to hand combat. Even though I'm still far from defeating father, at least I can defeat some soldiers. I can't compare my strength to an a.d.u.l.t man, so I focused on my agility. Of course if you mention agility, you can't forget qinggong. Father taught me qinggong and I learned it in half a month so father asked me what I want as a reward. I said that I want to learn horse riding, he immediately agrees with it but it have to be after I mastered hand to hand combat.

And now together with father, we went to Thousands Beasts Forest to tame a magical beast. I only realized that the red hare father rode isn't a horse, actually it is a magical beast with fire element. After looking for 1 hour, suddenly a sound came out from the bushes. We are alerted as the bushes shook more violently, then a white horse came out. Our jaw dropped by its majestic look, its more like divine creature rather than magical beast. The beast was staring at me, I climb down from father's magical beast.

Xu Tingfeng: ” Hong er, be careful. Remember what I taught you. Don't rush it.”

Hong er: ” Yes, father.”

I slowly walk towards the beast, it kept staring at me. I stared back, a feeling of sadness surge out from my heart, it made me want to cry. But I won't cry. I stretch out my hand to touch it's head. It lowers it's head, ' she wants me to pat her head?'. I slowly caresses her head and she closes her eyes. She leans toward my hand, got closer to me. She openes her eyes and wagges her tail. 'Hehehe, is she a horse or a dog?' I put my forehead on her head. Suddenly a name crossed my head, ” Xiao Bai” She lifted up her head like she could understand what I'm saying.

' Eh? She cried?' I wiped her tears with my hand. ” Don't cry Xiao Bai, I will always be with you.” And she snuggled her head to the crook of my neck. I hugged her and patted her head. And that's how I got my magical beast.

Xiao Bai POV

50 thousand years ago

I am a divine beast but I was abandoned by my family. My father and mother is a pair of the strongest divine beasts. But when my mother gave birth to me and my siblings, they found me different than the other. I can't fly like my phoenix sister, I can't roar like my kirin brother. I can only bark, my body's size is way smaller than them too. Their body had incredible muscle and strong aura, not like me, fluffy and weak. My fur is pure white and super fluffy. (A/N: just imagine Samoyed puppy)Oh, and divine beasts actually are immortal but they are hard to get pregnant. Only once in every 10 thousand years.

Every god has a divine beast as pet. They can have more than one but it is hard to find a very strong divine beast. The third grade gods can just randomly find a divine beast or magical beast, but a magical beast is very weak compared to divine beast, that's why the first and second grade gods never took magical beast as pets.

I heard that the God of Darkness Hei An already got the Shadow dragon as a pet. Woow, dragon is the ruler of the divine beasts so they are basically very very strong. And this year, the God of Light Sheng Jie had decided to pick a divine beast as her pet. I heard that the God of Light is a very kind person, do I have a hope that she will pick me? It is impossible, no matter how kind a god is, they won't pick such a weak beast like me. The other divine beasts hate me and frequently bullied me. Even my own family despise me, I was kicked out and wandered the heaven alone for 1 thousand years.

I tear up a little bit but quickly shake my tears off. But I still want to go to the Selection. So here I am, standing beside my giant brother. Actually not all divine beast can participate this Selection, only the strongest divine beast can participate. But my parent is one of the strongest divine beasts so I sneaked in.

The music played and the other gods stand up, a very beautiful woman walked in. She is wearing a white and gold hanfu, her hanfu flutters in the air, making her look so divine. She is quite tall for a woman so I have to look up. She walked in front of me and stopped, she squatted and pat my head. ” so cute.” And now I can see her clearly, she has golden eyes and a lotus mark on her forehead. Small and straight nose, her cherry plump lips, she really deserves the title of being the most beautiful god in the heaven. When she was walking, the light around her made it difficult for me to see her face and now after I saw it, I really want her to pick me.

She stand up again and continue to walk toward the throne. She sat down on the gold throne smiled brightly. All the gods bowed ” Greetings to the God of Light, Sheng Jie.”

Sheng Jie: ” ehm, sit down.”
